fold

fold — Adds artificial foldover to an audio signal.

Description

Adds artificial foldover to an audio signal.

Syntax

ares fold asig, kincr

Performance

asig -- input signal

kincr -- amount of foldover expressed in multiple of sampling rate. Must be >= 1

fold is an opcode which creates artificial foldover. For example, when kincr is equal to 1 with sr=44100, no foldover is added. When kincr is set to 2, the foldover is equivalent to a downsampling to 22050, when it is set to 4, to 11025 etc. Fractional values of kincr are possible, allowing a continuous variation of foldover amount. This can be used for a wide range of special effects.

Examples

Here is an example of the fold opcode. It uses the file fold.csd.
